I’m trying to wrap my head around the idea of making a live-action He-Man flick. Sure, they did it back in 1987, but that’s not saying much. It was the 80s. That said, is this a film that will ever transfer well?
I could definitely see an awesomely updated animated version making waves. There’s tons of great fan art on the web to support that theory. Regardless, they’ve decided to go with a more intense, probably “edgier” version for the big screens.
The biggest issue with production right now is finding a director for MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. Jon M. Chu dropped out leaving the studio to search for someone else. Now it looks like there are four directors on the shortlist:
Out of the four who is the best choice? Hrmmmm, Cahill. I’m in the minority when it comes to my opinion on KICK-ASS 2. I actually enjoyed it. Wadlow did a nice job. He could be a decent fit for it as well.
There was a more impressive shortlist last month that included the likes of Joe Cornish and Rian Johnson.
I’m just going to keep lobbying for a new animated version. Anyone with me?
